U.S. Army Pfc. Mason Cheek, assigned the 603rd Military Police Company, runs while carrying jerry cans during the 2026 Dragon Warrior Military Fitness Competition at Tapa Army Base, Estonia, July 8, 2026. The competition tested teams' physical endurance, teamwork and leadership through repeated 1-kilometer loaded marches and realistic military tasks designed to build the resilience required for combat operations. V Corps is the U.S. Army's only forward-deployed corps, serving as the senior tactical headquarters for Army forces in Eastern Europe to deter conflict and provide combat-ready forces alongside our NATO Allies. V Corps is operationalizing and expanding the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative with Allies, rapidly integrating emerging technologies into training and tactical plans.
